My husband , father and I arrived early to a spotlessly clean and immaculately decorated barn conversion, with homemade cupcakes and a sprig of narcissi to welcome us. There was everything that we needed, even down to dishwasher tablets. All the rooms were large with clean and comfortable furnishings. The central heating was very controllable and kept us warm throughout a fairly chilly April week. I was optimistic and hoped for some sun but was disappointed there was no patio furniture. A quick request at the farmhouse and Ian kindly organised our outdoor furniture. Judy and Ian were very friendly and helpful and were happy for us to use the washing machine in their utility room attached to the farmhouse. We did have a minor ant problem in the kitchen, but this was quickly dealt with by Judy - just one of those things! It would also be nice to have a bigger TV, particularly for a larger group than ours and we did find it seemed to break up a lot - but perhaps that was down to the location. Having said that, the location is lovely and peaceful, with only the call of tawny owls in the night, and on a clear night the stars jump out at you due to the lack of light pollution. I would definitely recommend Northmere, which would comfortably accommodate a group of 6 without feeling cramped.

We were a group of six girls who wanted a relaxing weekend away and our stay at the Old Dairy was exactly what we were looking for. It's been recently refurbished to a very high standard and it was very clean and comfortable. The farm is very close to Kenilworth where there are lovely places to eat and drink. It was very easy to book and it was a perfect weekend away. Will definitely return.

I hope you will come and stay with us in the Summer. The Warwickshire countryside is really beautiful then and there is a lovely walk to the pub where you can enjoy a drink over looking the castle. Best Wishes from all of us at North Mere.

This place really is a little gem. The refurbishment of the old farm buildings is beautiful and the location is simply stunning. The cottage was absolutely spotless and everything had been thought of, such as a selection of board games and DVDs and a pint of milk for that much needed cuppa on arrival! The homemade cakes were a lovely touch too!

I would not hesitate to recommend and hope to return soon.
